JOHN PIPER
A Sweet and Bitter Providence Sex, Race, and the Sovereignty of God John Piper examines the book of Ruth’s relevant themes and its dangerous ability to inspire twenty-first-century readers in the cause of love. Sex. Race. Scripture. Sovereignty. The book of Ruth incorporates them all. So readers shouldn’t be fooled by its age, says pastor John Piper. Though the events happened over 3,000 years ago, the story holds astounding relevance for Christians today because its massive realities never change. Since God is still sovereign, and we are male or female, and Jesus is alive and powerful, A Sweet and Bitter Providence bears a message for readers from all walks of life. But be warned, Piper tells his audience: This ancient love story between Boaz and Ruth could be dangerous, challenging us to take great risks for the sake of love.
JOHN PIPER is pastor for preaching and vision at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis. His other books include Desiring God, Don’t Waste Your Life, This Momentary Marriage, and Spectacular Sins.

Don’t Waste Your Life Group Study Set With the helpful materials in this newly designed kit, small groups and Sunday school classes will maximize John Piper’s biblical charge to make our lives count for eternity. Ask the average person to sum up his ideal life in a few words, and he or she might well describe the American dream: College. Job. Marriage. House. Kids. Comfortable income. Cushy retirement. According to John Piper in Don’t Waste Your Life, God designed people for far more than this. Nevertheless, millions squander their lives on such “fatal success”—all because they have not awakened to the simple, biblical reality that “to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” This valuable resource can assist churches, small groups, and teachers in reversing that empty trend. The newly redesigned kit combines a group study edition of Piper’s best-selling book Don’t Waste Your Life, along with a fourteen-session DVD featuring his teaching, plus a full-length companion study guide and leader materials. It contains everything a ministry or facilitator needs to stimulate discussion within a group and to convey Piper’s passion to make our lives count for eternity.

JOHN PIPER
Ruth Under the Wings of God Piper’s poetic renderings about the key figures and events in the history-altering love story between Ruth and Boaz reassure readers of God’s providential care. Life was bleak for Naomi. Her husband was dead, as were her sons. She found herself in a foreign land with only one friend—her daughter-inlaw Ruth. But as she returned to her hometown of Bethlehem, a ray of divine hope broke through the dark clouds of providence. It was the barley harvest, and she wasn’t alone. This cycle of poems by John Piper tells the story of God’s care for Naomi and the love story between Ruth and Boaz through the eyes of their son, an aged Obed. As he narrates the account to his eightyear-old grandson David, the future king of Israel, readers will walk with Boaz from promise to fulfillment, with Ruth from widowhood to motherhood, and with Naomi from death to life.
JOHN PIPER is pastor for preaching and vision at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis. His other poetry books include The Misery of Job and the Mercy of God, The Innkeeper, and The Prodigal’s Sister.

MARK DRISCOLL AND GERRY BRESHEARS
Vintage Church Team Study Pack Series: Re:Lit:Vintage Jesus Designed and packaged for church leadership teams, this study pack facilitates group discussion and implementation of the Vintage Church concepts in local churches. While many books want to teach you how to “do” church, Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears offer a book on what the church “is.” In Vintage Church, the authors present twelve confessional, experiential, and missional aspects of a local church with an emphasis on balancing the eternal truths of Scripture with timely, relevant methods. Those core aspects include: What is a Christian church? Who is supposed to lead the church? Why is preaching important? What are baptism and communion? How is love expressed in a church? How can a church utilize technology? and How could the church help transform the world? This pack includes everything leaders need to facilitate learning and discussion of the Vintage Church concepts: five copies of Vintage Church, five copies of the all-new Vintage Church Study Guide to enhance member participation, and a DVD with new, fifteen-minute teaching segments by Mark Driscoll that correspond to each of the twelve aspects covered in the book.

Doctrine What Christians Should Believe Series: Re:Lit:Vintage Jesus Driscoll and Breshears team up again to teach thirteen key elements of the Christian faith and what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Doctrine is the word Christians use to define the truth-claims revealed in Holy Scripture. Of course there is a multitude of churches, church networks, and denominations, each with their own doctrinal statement with many points of disagreement. But while Christians disagree on a number of doctrines, there are key elements that cannot be denied by anyone claiming to be a follower of Jesus. In Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe, Driscoll and Breshears teach thirteen of these key elements: the Trinity, God’s revelation, creation, God’s love, the Fall, covenant, the Incarnation, the cross, the resurrection, the church, worship, stewardship, and the kingdom of God. This meaty yet readable overview of basic doctrine will help Christians clarify and articulate their beliefs in accordance with the Bible.

JONATHAN LEEMAN
The Church and the Surprising Offense of God’s Love Reintroducing the Doctrines of Church Membership and Discipline Series: IXMarks An expert defense on what God’s holy love looks like through key local-church practices. When the world speaks of “love,” it often means unconditional acceptance. Many churches have adopted this mind-set in their practice of membership and discipline—if they have not done away with such structures entirely. “Yet God’s love and God’s gospel are different than what the world expects,” writes Jonathan Leeman. They are centered in his character, which draws a clear boundary between what is holy and what is not. It is this line that the local church should represent in its member practices, because the careful exercise of such authority “is God’s means for guarding the gospel, marking off a people, and thereby defining his love for the world.” So how should churches receive and dismiss members? This resource responds with biblical, theological, and practical guidance that will help pastors and their congregations upend worldly conceptions and recover a biblical understanding and practice of church authority.

TIM CHESTER
You Can Change God’s Transforming Power for Our Sinful Behavior and Negative Emotions A practical and interactive book designed to help Christians in all stages of life to find victory over sin by focusing on what God has already done in us. It’s about heart change, not behavior change. That’s the conviction of Tim Chester as he seeks to help everyday Christians “connect the truth about God with our Monday-morning struggles.” This interactive book, laid out in workbook fashion, is for newer Christians struggling with sin and more mature Christians who have plateaued in their faith. Convinced that sanctification is God’s work and the journey to holiness is joyful, Chester guides readers through a “change project”—beginning with one area of life where they would like to grow. Each chapter includes a question (e.g., Why would you like to change? What truths do you need to turn to?) for dealing with a specific sin or struggle, truths from God’s Word, and a reflection guide to help readers through their change project.
TIM CHESTER (PhD, University of Wales) is codirector of The Porterhouse Network, which equips individuals and churches to rediscover mission, and director of the Northern Training Institute, which provides integrated theological and missional training for church leaders. He is also coleader of the Crowded House, a group of church-planting networks.

TREVIN WAX
Holy Subversion Allegiance to Christ in an Age of Rivals (Foreword by Ed Stetzer) Challenges Christians to stop privatizing their faith and begin undermining the cultural “Caesars” of our time by reclaiming the early church’s radical proclamation: “Jesus is Lord.” Christians are too often guilty of pledging their allegiance to the powers of this age rather than to Christ alone. In Holy Subversion, Trevin Wax challenges such behavior by urging a return to the subversive lifestyle of the earliest Christians. Their proclamation and demonstration that “Jesus is Lord” directly opposed the Caesar worship of their day. Today, Christians in the West must choose between Jesus and our “Caesars”: self, success, money, leisure, sex, power. What would it look like, asks Wax, if today’s church reclaimed the communal, subversive nature of the gospel, undermining all contenders for our devotion? How would the message that “Jesus is Lord” change our thinking about our jobs, our families, and our church participation? Here this gifted pastortheologian offers help in taking our faith public, dethroning modern-day Caesars, honoring the Lordship of Christ, and understanding the church as the ultimate counterculture—an embodiment of Christ’s supremacy over all.

D. A. CARSON
Evangelicalism What Is It and Is It Worth Keeping? A noted evangelical scholar presents a relevant, biblical/ theological definition of evangelicalism that is rooted in the New Testament’s description of the gospel. What defines today’s evangelicals? Are they people who fit an empirical, social-science profile? Do they have historical roots in the Reformation? Do they hold to certain theological priorities or fall within particular parameters? Is the term evangelical even useful anymore? D. A. Carson responds to all of these questions and more in Evangelicalism. He advocates a biblical/theological foundation that is built on the description of the gospel found in 1 Corinthians 15. First establishing that evangelicalism is Christological, biblical, historical, theological, apostolic, heraldic, and personal, he then demonstrates its continuing relevance and our need for its scripturally defined boundaries. Carson critiques Noll’s Is the Reformation Over? and draws examples from Catholic doctrine, Christian experience, and modern scholarship to illustrate that the issues at stake in the Reformation are not settled.
D. A. CARSON (PhD, Cambridge University) is research professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where he has taught since 1978. A former pastor and itinerant minister, Carson is an active guest lecturer in academic and church settings around the world and has authored or edited more than forty-five books.

STARR MEADE ILLUSTRATED BY TIM O’CONNOR
Mighty Acts of God A Family Bible Story Book Designed for families with children ages four through eight, this Bible story book takes a panoramic, chronological look at the character of God. “Do as David did. Don’t do as Saul did. Follow this Old Testament person, but not that New Testament person.” That’s what you may find in many Bible story books. In Mighty Acts of God, Starr Meade takes a different approach to teaching the Bible to elementary school-aged children: she focuses not on characters in Scripture, but on God. Each of the ninety Bible stories included features a particular character trait or truth about God, emphasizing that God is the main character throughout Scripture. Each story in Mighty Acts of God is retold in lively, modern-day language from a Reformed perspective and is followed by an application section with several discussion-sparking questions and prayer points. By moving chronologically through both the Old and New Testaments, parents and children glimpse the person of God as one of consistency, vibrancy, passion, and love.

NANCY GUTHRIE, EDITOR
Be Still, My Soul Embracing God’s Purpose and Provision in Suffering This exceptional collection of twenty-five short readings drawn from classic and contemporary theologians, Bible teachers, and missionaries will encourage anyone going through a period of trial. Since the beginning of humanity, the question of suffering—why it happens and how God works in it—has existed. What are you doing, God? Why is this happening? Where are you? These questions fill our thoughts when we experience pain and tragedy. Having lost two young children who suffered from a rare and incurable disease, editor Nancy Guthrie has put together this helpful collection of short readings exploring the question of suffering. This anthology includes essays from both classic and contemporary theologians, Bible teachers, and missionaries such as John Calvin, Charles Spurgeon, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John Piper, Corrie ten Boom, Joni Eareckson Tada, and Helen Roseveare. Each entry expounds on a Bible verse, leading readers to see and be comforted by God’s perspective, purpose, and provision in suffering.
NANCY GUTHRIE speaks regularly at women’s retreats and evangelistic events both nationally and internationally. She has worked in Christian publishing for over two decades and has written or edited more than half a dozen books, including Holding On to Hope, The One Year Book of Hope, and Crossway’s Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus and Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross.

ADRIAN WARNOCK
Raised with Christ How the Resurrection Changes Everything How does Jesus’ resurrection empower individuals and churches? Popular Christian blogger and teacher Adrian Warnock explores the doctrinal, experiential, and evangelistic implications of the resurrection. Unlike the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement, which has been attacked (and vigorously defended) in recent years, the doctrine of the resurrection has sparked comparatively little discussion. Pastors certainly preach on the resurrection, and apologists write books defending the doctrine, but few books examine the massive implications of Jesus’ literal, bodily resurrection from the dead for believers and churches. In Raised with Christ, author Adrian Warnock addresses this gap, laying out the doctrinal, experiential, and evangelistic implications of a risen and reigning Christ. He takes his cue from the preaching of the apostles; in Acts, every recorded sermon focuses on both the death and the resurrection of Jesus. Warnock stresses that Christians who faithfully proclaim and work out the implications of that message in vibrant, grace-filled churches will be empowered to reach a world that lives in death’s dark shadow.

JOHN CALVIN EDITED BY PAUL HELM
The Secret Providence of God Reintroduces John Calvin’s neglected work on the doctrine of divine providence. Includes an introduction and notes by prominent British theologian Paul Helm. In 1558 John Calvin held a prominent position of leadership in the Reform movement. He had written prolifically and his works had been widely circulated—and critiqued. It was at this time that he penned an answer to a critique of his position on divine providence, as articulated in the 1546 edition of the Institutes. His polemical defense of his beliefs, The Secret Providence of God, reflects the boisterous, argumentative tone of the Reformation era and is Calvin’s fullest treatment on this important doctrine. Unfortunately, in recent decades this work has been largely forgotten. With this new English translation of Calvin’s work, editor Paul Helm reintroduces The Secret Providence of God to students, pastors, and layreaders of theology. Translator Keith Goad has modernized the English while preserving a Latinized translation style as far as possible. Helm has provided a full introduction, discussing the work’s background, content, style, and relation to Calvin’s other writings on providence.

Dig Deeper Tools for Understanding God’s Word Christians who wield these sixteen Bible-reading tools will better understand God’s guidance for their lives, come to know him better, and grow to love him more. When it comes to reading and understanding the Bible, a dangerous phrase is used by non-Christians and even some believers: “Well, that’s your interpretation.” It is true that without some care in your interpretation, you can “make” the Bible say almost anything. Dig Deeper is written out of the conviction that there is a right way to understand the Bible and a wrong way, and the authors show us how to read it rightly. Dig Deeper offers sixteen tools readers can use to get to the bottom of any Bible passage and discover its intended meaning. Examples show how each tool helps readers discover something exciting and relevant in a passage, and the “Dig deeper” exercises offer the opportunity to practice using the tools. The book’s brevity and easy-to-read format make it ideal for Christians who want to get the most out of their Bible.

A Sincere and Pure Devotion to Christ 100 Daily Meditations on 2 Corinthians (2 volumes) These meditations on 2 Corinthians will help readers grow in their devotion to Christ and find their joy in him. Second Corinthians is unique in the New Testament in the way it portrays the sufferings of Paul and the supremacy of Christ. Paul’s affection for the Corinthian church and his endurance through hardship for their joy testifies to his deep devotion to Christ. His example and instruction in this letter inspires us to find our joy in Jesus. In each volume of A Sincere and Pure Devotion to Christ—available separately or as a set—Storms provides readers with fifty daily meditations on this great epistle that are both accessible and substantive. His analysis and application of the biblical text make these meditations suitable for private devotions or small group studies, or as a commentary for Bible study, Sunday school lessons, or sermon preparation.

RICHARD BAXTER, EDITED BY RANDALL J. PEDERSON
The Godly Home (Introduction by J. I. Packer) One-of-a-kind, stand-alone collection of Puritan writer Richard Baxter’s guidance on how to have a godly home. In twenty-first-century America, at a time when the family structure is crumbling, divorce rates are at an all-time high, and respect for parents is diminishing, The Godly Home serves as a balm for those seeking God’s plan for the family. With an introduction by J. I. Packer, this book includes rich content for those studying the characteristics of a godly family. Richard Baxter covers topics such as marriage, children, and family worship through both hypothetical and real-life questions and concerns that arise in family dynamics. He uses arguments, objections, and frequent Scripture to help husbands, wives, and children to live godly lives. More than three centuries ago, Puritan church leader Baxter compiled a 1,143-page tome entitled Christian Directory, which included a section on family life. The Godly Home is the only stand-alone version of that section. Editor Randall Pederson has updated the language and syntax to make this seventeenth-century collection a treasure for generations to come.

DAVE KRAFT
Leaders Who Last Series: Re:Lit Instructs, inspires, and challenges readers in a new way to live, lead, and make a lasting difference in the lives of others. If the Christian life is like a race, we must admit that too many Christian leaders stumble, burn out, or veer off the track. Clearly it is not automatic that a leader will finish well. Based on Dave Kraft’s thirty plus years of leading, teaching, and coaching Christian leaders, Leaders Who Last moves through three stages of leadership: foundations, formation, and fruitfulness. Concise, anecdotal, and packed with wisdom, this book will help readers aim their ambitions, refine their character, and position themselves to be effective leaders who endure. Kraft’s brief, down-to-earth guide to Christian leadership will inspire readers to finish the race well—to hit the tape in full stride with an energetic burst of speed—and receive their commendation from God.
DAVE KRAFT served with the Navigators for thirty-eight years before joining Mars Hill Church in Seattle. As its leadership development pastor, Kraft recruits, trains, and places leaders for the church’s seven campuses.

ANTHONY B. BRADLEY
Liberating Black Theology The Bible and the Black Experience in America An African-American theologian presents this timely critique of the “victimology” theme within black theology and its long-standing spiritual and social implications. When the beliefs of Barack Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, assumed the spotlight during the 2008 presidential campaign, the influence of black liberation theology became hotly debated not just within theological circles but across cultural lines. How many of today’s African-American congregations—and how many Americans in general—have been shaped by its view of blacks as perpetual victims of white oppression? In this interdisciplinary critique of the black experience in America, Anthony Bradley introduces audiences to this belief system and its spiritual and social impact. He starts with James Cone’s proposition that the “victim” mind-set is inherent within black consciousness. Bradley then explores how such biblical misinterpretation has historically hindered black churches in addressing the diverse issues of their communities and prevented adherents from experiencing the freedoms of the gospel. Finally, he concludes with an alternate approach to the black experience that can truly liberate all Christ-followers.

VERN SHERIDAN POYTHRESS
In the Beginning Was the Word Language—A God-Centered Approach Builds a Christian theology of language and reforms our thinking about words. Language is not only the centerpiece of our everyday lives, but it gives significance to all that we do. It also reflects and reveals our all-sustaining Creator, whose providential governance extends to the intricacies of language. Writes Vern Poythress, “God controls and specifies the meaning of each word—not only in English but in Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Italian, and every other language. When we drop him from our account of language, our words suddenly become a prison that keeps us from the truth rather than opening doors to the truth. But we will use our words more wisely if we come to know God and understand him in relation to our language.” It is such biblically informed insights that make In the Beginning Was the Word especially valuable. Words are important to us all, and this book—written at a level that presupposes no knowledge of linguistics— develops a positive, God-centered view of language. In his interaction with multiple disciplines Poythress offers plenty of application, not just for scholars and church leaders but for any Christian thinking carefully about his speech.
VERN SHERIDAN POYTHRESS (PhD, Harvard) is professor of New Testament interpretation at Westminster Theological Seminary, where he has taught since 1976; editor of the Westminster Theological Journal; and the author of numerous books including Crossway’s Redeeming Science: A GodCentered Approach. He was also a member of the ESV Translation Oversight Committee.

ARNOLD A. DALLIMORE
George Whitefield God’s Anointed Servant in the Great Revival of the Eighteenth Century (Redesign) This fast-paced, easy-to-read narrative reveals how God used one man of great courage, discipline, and humility to bring countless souls to Christ. God’s accomplishments through George Whitefield are to this day virtually unparalleled. In an era when many ministers were timid and apologetic in their preaching, he preached the gospel with aggressive zeal and undaunted courage. In the wake of his fearless preaching, revival swept across the British Isles, and the Great Awakening transformed the American colonies. The previous two-volume work George Whitefield: The Life and Times of the Great Evangelist of the Eighteenth-Century Revival is now condensed into this single volume and filled with historic, primary-source quotations not only from Whitefield but from other prominent figures such as John and Charles Wesley, Benjamin Franklin, and William Cowper.

MARTYN LLOYD-JONES
The Kingdom of God (Trade Paperback Edition) In a world that has completely misunderstood Christianity, Martyn Lloyd-Jones calls Christians back to what the kingdom of God is truly about—a blessed Savior and wondrous forgiveness. In a culture that views Christianity and the entire gospel message as a tedious religion or just a set of social mores, Martyn Lloyd-Jones acts as a herald to bring readers back to the basics. In describing what the kingdom of God is, Lloyd-Jones expresses the importance of looking back to Jesus, living a life dependent on him, and looking toward a future with God. First preached in the 1960s, a time of widespread doubt and uncertainty much like our own, these twelve sermons unfold the necessity and beauty of Scripture, the truth of what our hearts look like when we understand what the kingdom of God really is, and practical suggestions on how our lives have been changed by that truth. Anyone desiring to uncover—or rediscover—the heart of the Christian faith will be blessed by reading this book.
MARTYN LLOYD-JONES (1899-1981), minister of Westminster Chapel in London for thirty years, was one of the foremost preachers of his day. His books include Spiritual Depression, Joy Unspeakable, The Cross, The Heart of the Gospel, and his series on John 17.
